06. Weirdos
Although Lin Ziyue quit the game, she didn't come out of the game cabin for a long time, she lay in the comfortable, soft and slightly narrow game cabin, her heart was full of uneasiness and doubts.
Whether it's Si Nuo, the experience that is too real in that script, or the group of administrators who are out of tune, it makes her feel very unreal, no matter how you say it, it's just something in the game, so when you quit, nothing exists, and it feels no different from a dream.
Maybe I'll just think of it as a dream, and I'll talk about it later.
She climbed out of the game cabin, and when she looked up at her watch, it was already seven and fifteen in the evening, and she had been playing for more than three hours, she secretly screamed that it was not good, and quickly went to clean up her things and eat a bowl of instant noodles, and at eight o'clock she had to go to the nearby convenience store on duty.
Running into the convenience store at eight o'clock, she waved her fist at the door at the aunt behind the counter: "Auntie, I'm here!
Lin Ziyue's night shift has always been very leisurely, except for the occasional drunk person coming over to chatter and vomit, she has almost nothing to do, and occasionally there are people who come to buy things in a hurry, she feels that her biggest task here is only two, one is to watch the store, and the other is to maintain the signboard outside the store that operates 24 hours a day.
But tonight there was an uninvited guest, and at nearly twelve o'clock in the morning, a tall man in a thin suit, wearing a baseball cap with a very low brim, stood at the counter with one hand.
"Excuse me...... Do you need something?" Lin Ziyue looked up at the man, but she couldn't see his unusually blocked face.
"Tut-tut, looking at the convenience store, it's really a way to survive without ambition and a future. The man's voice was a little sharp, but his words fell on Lin Ziyue's ears and became even sharper, and the straightforward mockery made her very unhappy.
"Do you need anything? If not, the gate is over there, and you can leave at any time. I don't think there's any point in mocking other people's professions, and if I wasn't here to look at the store, you wouldn't even be able to come in. Lin Ziyue frowned, and the impression of this person in her heart became worse and worse.
"Do you have any wishes, just trade with us, and even the most bizarre things can be ......."
"Ah, a bottle of yogurt, yes, I know. Lin Ziyue decided to play stupid with this bizarre tall man to see who could be stupid, and as she spoke, she took a bottle of yogurt from the freezer behind her and put it on the counter.
The man was visibly stunned for a moment because of her actions, and then said again: "No, I don't drink this disgusting thing, I just want to talk to you about ......"
"Ah, do you want another bottle?" Lin Ziyue took out another bottle.
The man became a little irritated and said, "No, I want to tell you......"
"Ah, I want three bottles, you really like yogurt. Lin Ziyue took another bottle and put it on the counter between the two.
"Just trade with us, whatever you wish ......"
"Four bottles? ”
"Listen to me......"
"Oh, oh, five bottles, it's easy to go to the toilet if you drink too much. ”
The man was silent for a while, and Lin Ziyue looked at him with an innocent face while holding back a smile.
"Don't you have anything you want to pursue? as long as you ......"
"If you have six bottles, I don't think you should drink them all at once, you'll have a bad stomach. As she spoke, Lin Ziyue took out another bottle of yogurt and put it on the counter.
The two were silent again.
"Do you still want to add ......?"
"Enough!!" The man hurriedly roared, interrupting Lin Ziyue's next words, and then slapped on the counter, and said angrily, "Don't have such a good opportunity, if you want to make a deal in the future, don't come to us!" Then he turned around and was about to leave, but Lin Ziyue stopped him at this time: "Wait!"
The man turned around excitedly: "What, have you finally figured it out?" Great, we really didn't see the wrong person...... When he turned around, he found Lin Ziyue pointing to the six bottles of yogurt on the counter and winking at him innocently.
So after the man left with six bottles of yogurt, Lin Ziyue put on headphones and continued to brush the Phantom World Forum on his mobile phone, which released the news of the maintenance time, it seems that it will take three days to reopen, and new game content will be added after opening, judging from a brief introduction, it seems that the balance of the six worlds has reached the most unstable era, so the six worlds meet, and suddenly there will be a variety of new races pouring into the human world, and fighting in the human world, players can cultivate prestige, befriend the major forces, and go to the new world for a broader adventure after reaching level eighty, and the most special point is that the new world will link the global servers togetherto synchronize games across the globe.
As soon as this announcement came out, there was a sudden uproar on the forum, after all, the highest level on the current level list is less than fifty levels, and the legendary god-like figure who has achieved prestige has also been rumored to be a god, which is almost a shortcut for GM to enter the game. Lin Ziyue couldn't help but smile bitterly when she saw this, she did take a shortcut, but what she took was a weird shortcut that even GM couldn't figure out.
At the same time, the tall and thin man poured six bottles of yogurt from a plastic bag onto the glass table. In this luxurious reception room, all but one of the men and women sitting and standing were all dressed in black suits, and there were seven men in total.
"How's it going?Did she say yes?" The only woman in the room who didn't wear a black suit, wearing a fiery red cheongsam, the lazy beauty shook her wine glass and looked at the tall and thin man with a smile, "That girl seems to be kind-hearted and gentle, but no one knows her better than me!
The tall and lanky man took off his baseball cap, revealing a scarred face, and threw the hat on the table, saying, "That's the answer she gave me." ”
"Hee-hee, it must be because the third child is too scary! How has he ever succeeded in convincing the object!" a boy who looked no more than ten years old smiled cutely, looking at the sun.
The woman who was sitting on the sofa with him gently tugged at the corner of her black veil and spoke slowly, as if she had to speak with great effort: "So, failure, like this?"
A gunshot rang out in the house, and a man on crutches fired a shot at the roof, attracting most people's eyes to himself before he spoke: "Ahaha, what should we do if we fail? Kill someone next to her and force her to beg us to trade? This is the fastest, don't look at me one by one with the eyes of violent people, I don't have the patience to spend time with a little girl who is a big magician!"
The man leaning against the wall had a cold face, and the tear mole under the corner of his left eye added a little femininity to his appearance, he pushed his glasses and said: "I hope you can calm down, now is not the time to cause trouble, my hands and feet in the illusory world may be noticed by the residents of ** at any time, if the hunting team comes here, we will be ** annoyed." ”
The woman in the cheongsam poured red wine on the face of the middle-aged man next to her, and he was dozing off and drooling suddenly, he suddenly woke up, and even the gunfire just now failed to wake him up, which is enough to see the strength of his nerves, if Lin Ziyue was present at this time, he would definitely recognize this man, it was the smoker Lao Yan he saw in the game, and even the black suit was exactly the same.
"What? the meeting is over?Let's go, I'm going to supervise the maintenance of the system tomorrow......" The man yawned widely, only to find that everyone was staring at him, "What, do I have something on my face?"
"Well, there's red wine. The boy nodded earnestly.
"Ah, strawberries, you're not kind, it's red wine again, and you have to send it to wash your suit......" Lao Yan touched the back of his head in annoyance and sat back on the sofa beside the cheongsam woman.
"I said, let's have a snack, the goal this time is very important, I think you all understand, right?"
Everyone in the room nodded, and even Lao Yan yawned and muttered "yes, yes, yes", so angry that the cheongsam woman smashed the wine glass on his head.
"Let's disperse this time, and I'll trouble Asmundo to watch her a little bit in the illusory world. Lao Yan, you too, don't focus on work, help a little, it's always okay to create a chance encounter, right?"
The man on the wall pushed his glasses and nodded, but Lao Yan looked left and right, realizing that everyone was staring at him again, so he turned his head and asked the cheongsam woman, "Strawberry, what did you just say?"
The cheongsam woman bent down to pick up the wine glass from the ground and smashed the old cigarette again.
"Break up! Break up! Old Yan, don't run, stay!" Old Yan, who was named by the cheongsam woman alone, sat back on the sofa in disappointment, and he was already about to rush out of the door just now.
"I'll stay for now, I have a bit of a plan for the contact with the target. Asmon, who was wearing glasses, also sat on the sofa, just between the woman and the old smoke.
Except for the tall and thin man standing in front of the glass table in a daze at Yogurt, the other three people on the sofa turned into a black mist and dissipated into the air.
"I said, third child, what are you looking at? ”
The third child hesitated and stretched out his hand, and after taking a bottle of yogurt, it also turned into black smoke and disappeared.
"It's really strange that a bunch of freaks, a bunch of freaks, can't even handle a little freak. The woman held her forehead and fell weakly onto Asmon's shoulder, and Asmon leaned forward and flashed over.
The woman straightened up, glared at him in annoyance, and then looked at Lao Yan and said, "Lao Yan, is the game okay?"
Lao Yan replied absentmindedly: "It's okay, it's rare to find the goal, although the process is a little harder, but finally I don't have to add code to my brother's book-like program, Niang Xipi's, the programmer is really not a human worker, and there is no sister and no wine, lack of sleep and easy to accumulate illness, I really don't know how that kid found the program of the phantom world...... I'm finally, I can," he yawned widely, "huh...... Go back to the sales department and smoke quietly......"
"I can't see how hard it is, hey, how about bringing your dead brother in, too?" we don't have a lot of people right now......" The woman grinned and proposed, but was choked back by Lao Yan's sharp eyes for a moment.
"If you dare to touch my brother, I don't mind dying together. ”
Asmon pushed his glasses and interrupted the murderous aura that permeated the two of them: "I want to say, if I can blend directly with her in the game, wouldn't I be able to approach and guide her more intuitively?
Old Smoke nodded, took out a cigarette and lit it, then took a deep breath before answering Asmon's words head-on: "It's not difficult, but do you plan to use your identity as an NPC or a player to intervene in the Phantom World?"
"Player. ”
The cheongsam woman got up from the sofa and walked towards the door gracefully, and before leaving, she didn't forget to wave her hand at the two: "Okay, that's it! Come on, everyone!"
The remaining two people in the room looked at each other and sighed together.
"Alas, shake off the shopkeeper......"
That night in Lin Ziyue's life did not cause any waves, she has been used to meeting some inexplicable people and things, but she is not interested, for her "early death and early transcendence, live and live" life purpose, since she said goodbye to the second middle school and understood that she wanted to live a dull life, she had given up touching anything abnormal, and after putting away things like the spell formula magic array she wrote when she was a child and locking it up, she completely said goodbye to her black history. Although she occasionally encountered all kinds of strange accidents or strange things after that, she also firmly believed that they were just accidents.
After all, Lin Ziyue's life is not as lucky as millions of lottery tickets from heaven except for trivial misfortunes, so she never believes in pies falling from the sky, maybe those things are poisonous.
Three days later, the maintenance is finally over, Lin Ziyue with a little anticipation of the mood again into the game cabin of the phantom world, she came back from the night shift she simply switched to sleep mode, and timed for nine hours, in the sleep mode the player and the normal mode is not different from the game, but the brain in the game cabin will be regulated by the game cabin bioelectricity, into a relaxed state similar to deep sleep, the body will enter a state of deep sleep self-repair.
Of course, Lin Ziyue didn't forget to remind herself that the name of the mummy, Shadow Dance.
Waiting for loading in the dark, when the loading was completed, Lin Ziyue's eyes brightened, it was early morning in the game, she was standing at the gate of the skill guild, this was the place where she went offline last time, and the players couldn't wait to go online after the maintenance ended, and there were more people on the street soon,
Lin Ziyue turned around and entered the skill guild, intending to see what skills she could learn, especially the identification technique, she was very worried that she would make a lot of jokes if she couldn't distinguish between players and NPCs. Walking to the old man at the reception, Lin Ziyue asked, "Where did I learn the identification technique?"
The old man raised his eyes and glanced at her, and then in an instant, as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, his whole face was radiant: "Ah! Welcome to our skill guild! This is our honor! Do you need anything?"
Lin Ziyue was frightened by his enthusiasm, is this the system setting? A second ago, he was a cold and arrogant old man like a master, and this second he looked like a door-to-door salesman.
"I ......"
"Ah, I see! You just said that you want to learn the art of identification! Why are you sorry to bother you to stand at the front desk, please come here!"
Lin Ziyue was dragged into a reception room by the old man under the surprised gaze of the players around her, she sat on a comfortable bench, and helplessly watched the old man run out and call the "receptionist".
After a while, a shrewd and capable woman walked in, and after signaling the old man to go back to work, she walked towards Lin Ziyue with a smile, and stretched out her hand to say hello: "Hello, I am the reception chief of the Yungui City Skill Guild, welcome the judge to our Yungui City, I hope you can have a good time, so what can I help you?"
Lin Ziyue "uh" for a few seconds before replying: "I want to learn some skills." ”
The woman handed a stack of manuals to Lin Ziyue: "You can take a look, this is a list of skills that our guild can provide, you, as a judge, all basic skills are free to learn, and special skills can reduce your learning fee by 30%......"
Lin Ziyue took the notebook at a loss, and flipped through it carefully, among the basic skills, from a variety of life skills to some basic technical training, she was dizzy, and the price of special skills made her almost jump up from the chair - "This! 30,000 gold coins! 50,000 gold coins! and ......" There are still 100,000 gold coins...... You must know that the gold coins of the Phantom World are measured by exchanging one international currency for ten gold coins, and one international currency is equivalent to two yuan, which is tens of thousands of yuan when converted into the game, will anyone spend so much money to buy skills? Although Lin Ziyue looks at the description of those skills is extremely powerful, she can't imagine that someone will spend a lot of money in the game anyway.
Maybe the son of a wealthy family would do something, she smiled bitterly and said to the woman, "I'll learn identification and cooking, and I'll come to you if I need anything else in the future." ”
The woman smiled and took out two cards and handed them to Lin Ziyue, the cards turned into two white lights when they fell into Lin Ziyue's hands, and then a system prompt sounded:
Ding, you've learned the art of identification.
Ding, you have learned to master cooking, and the dishes you cook are randomly bonus.
Walking out of the skill guild, Lin Ziyue was walking outside the city to level up, and suddenly a friend request came, and at a glance, it was indeed the mummy, "Shadow Dance".
